I watched a documentary about the music and theme songs of the James Bond movies. THEY DIDN’T EVEN MENTION THIS THEME SONG! This is EASILY top 5 if not top 3 in my opinion. Doc lost all credibility to me! BLASPHEMY!
@@tylsimys67 The best James Bond songs are " Nobody Does It Better", " A View To A Kill ", " You Only Live Twice ", " For Your Eyes Only " , "Live And Let Die ", " Thunderball " , " Moonraker ", " The Living Daylights ", "License To Kill", " Octopussy " , "Skyfall", " No Time To Die ", "Spectre"
The openings were my favorite part of the Bond films I've seen. This one brings tears to my eyes with the beauty of Sheena and her voice and the titles by Maurice Binder. Props to all involved. Thanks for uploading!
Somehow I knew Maurice Binder had something to do with the song for your eyes only, also he was a friend of Elvis Presley. The person playing the piano on that song sounds like Elvis Presley's piano player.
One of the best James Bond films in my opinion. Roger Moore at his best . Incredibly good storyline, a great cast and the best locations. Some of the nastiest Bond villains and a wonderful musical score. Great car chase with terrible cars and amazing underwater action. They don’t make them like this anymore . Perfect.
I think this is still a great Bond film, although I don't watch them these days. I saw this when it was first released, and I felt for a long time that it was a great action movie that was often overshadowed by Bond films like Goldfinger, The Spy Who Loved Me and the last batch of Bond films (This movie is vastly superior to the last five Bond films ever made). Still, it's nice to see clips from time to time!
The roger Moore bonds definitely stood out from the others, the campiness, the one liners from him, the 80s theme songs, he was such a different bond from the rest. He wasn't my favourite but he was the bond who I grew up with.
Wow I need to watch this Bond film edition you guys are all talking about. ❤🎉 thanks for sharing insights and comments about the song, singer and the film.
Very Good point.. my mother told me she watched this movie on a reel to reel in 1983 at a home in Connecticut. She was 10. Now we have Videos on cell phone.
I bow to you, Sir Roger Moore. I grew up watching your films. They shaped a great time, which unfortunately is over. I miss the 70's, 80's & 90's, the good old times. You were a great person and actor, my respect. R.I.P Sir Roger Moore
50.n half lol saw this in theater was sooo in love with his female counterpart In this back when yeee some offense meant to my 22 yr daughters friends lol when women found it ok to be feminine and gorgeous
Tbh for me it's very hard to say who's my favourite I like Craig, Connery and more but no one else will match these guys there legends for ever imgl but form the 60s til the 80s was golden period for bond films 100 percent love the fancise always
Best bond song by a million miles. Heard it first when I watched the film with my grandad. I was about 6yrs old. Brings back fond memories of him❤️ rip grandad. Rip sir Roger moore❤️
Strangely enough this film also reminds me of my nan and grandad. Watching this film at their house on a Christmas many years ago. Lovely memories of them both and still miss them like crazy.
You were 6yo, I had to "bullshit" my way in to theater as fifteen - every Bond movie was 'K16' in Finland... ONLY because of goddam Russia and our chickenshit politicians.
"For Your Eyes Only" , although one of the best James Bond main title songs in the history of the James Bond film franchise, is not the best Bond main title song because (1) the lyrics are not sophisticated enough and (2) it has the absurd lyric, "Maybe I'm an open book because I know your mind.....but you won't need to read between the lines" -- well of course Bond won't need to "read between the lines" of her intentions because she has already indicated that her heart is an "open book"!😂😂. The best Bond main title song of them all is definitely "Diamonds Are Forever"(1971) sung magnificently by the incomparable Shirley Bassey! "DAF" has the best lyrics of any Bond main title song with superb music and Bassey's peerless vocal performance! It is one of the exceedingly rare examples in popular music of a perfect song in terms of all three elements - lyrics, music and vocal performance!
@@michaelbarlow6610 You sure the lyric is "mind" and not "mine?" Either way, DAF is a very good pick for best title song. Tough to argue with a legend like Bassey. My favorite from her though is Goldfinger. I've had this "best Bond song" debate with several people and honestly, it is easier to agree on which were the weakest. Maybe I'll make a video about it and open the question up to the comments section. That would be fun. I know true Bond fans have strong opinions on the matter. Cheerio!
I think initially they wanted Deborah Harry, who was also beautiful, but she refused to sing without the rest of Blondie so they decided to get someone else.
@edwardprawdzik2639 Up until a few days ago, I was in the same boat as you on never seeing a Bond movie, but I watched this one for the song alone and it was a good movie with some memorable moments. I also agree it was a great and it is a beautifully put together song and Bill Conti was smart to stick with her as he was unimpressed with her debut album, but she won him over in person.
Best bond theme tune, takes me back to when I was young enough to go out and play with my mates and always be back home for tea and I didn't wash my hands every 5 seconds. 😁
This is such a beautifully 1980s song. I must've seen all of the Roger Moore films at least ten times each throughout the course of the 80s, with this one and Live and Let Die being my favourites. It was great being a kid in the 80s, turning the TV on Saturday or Sunday and there was these classic action films your parents would let you watch, just enough violence and double entendre to let you get away with watching. Was a great time for cinema and definitely a more simple time to grow up. All these old films and soundtracks have a way to transport you back to a time when life was happier and simpler.
I couldn't agree more Mark Birchall. I personally loved Roger Moore as James Bond (I appreciate I am probably in the minority). Everything seemed much better back then. I wasn't born until 1981, but I have seen all of Roger Moore's outings as James Bond. I'm always looking back to the 70s and 80s for music and films. It was a better era. People were happier, things seemed easier, everything was more innocent in a way. At least we can still indulge in nostalgia if we want to.
My father loves James Bond movies. His favourite 007 of all time, is Roger Moore. Ever since I was kid, we would watch his movies all the time. This song always stuck out to my dad, and also me as well. This song just gives me a strong emotional connection, that not a lot of songs will do. My personal favourite song from a James Bond Film.
That's amazing, and I can totally relate as I was born in the late 70s, and my dad and I watched Moore's films either in the theater or at home. This was the 1st movie I saw with my dad in the theaters, and I feel it was a true bonding experience
Roger Moore is my favourite. Some people prefer the others for various reasons, but I want to like the man playing Bond. I'd have jumped at the chance of going for a pint with Roger Moore. The others, not so much. His films seemed colourful, with the best locations, stunts, music etc
Lynn-Holly Johnson and Cassandra Harris (RIP) were no slouches either. And don't forget the cameo by the flower shop girl in Cortina, the stunning Robin Young. She was the winner of the Playboy magazine contest to cast a girl in a Bond film.
@@lamarravery4094 She did and I almost wonder if it was a stab at Sheena Easton. But I guess Sheena has the last laugh though as this song is iconic whereas Madonna's is not even talked about and Sheena is still looking pretty good whereas Madonna is looking haggard
The first Bond I ever watched in cinema. I was 9 yeras old and followed the movie like spellbound. "For your eyes only" not only triggers wonderful childhood memories, it is also one of my most beloved Bonds, because its puristic style - the same with: "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". And this song is by the way sooo beautiful.
I remember my Dad (RIP) taking me to see this in the evening on a school night - unheard of. He always made a point of taking us to the new Bond film which in those days was Roger Moore. As you say, wonderful memories.
@@eddie7167 I guess, your "71" (behind "Eddie") means, that you were born in 1971!? The 70`s and early to mid 80`s were wonderful times, to be a child. The toys at that time were fantastic. A paradise for children. And then TV, cinema, comics, quieter times etc. This is not just nostalgia, it was really fantastic for kids. Okay, we did not have Playstations, but Arcade Games and the starting of the first home-computers was fun, too. I realy feel sorry, that your dad is already dead. But no one can ever take your memories of these times, that you experienced with your dad in your childhood - and not only in these.
Yes . These Bond films remind us all that there was once a time when we had no cares or worries and the Future lay ahead of us - Shining brightly . Little did we know....! ?!
This is true nostalgia. Amazing song. Amazing movie. Amazing Stunning Singer. Can't belive Moore is gone. I am still waiting for him to apear once more as 007,. The only true Bond. MISS THE 80s!. I wish I could live every day as if its.....For your eyes only !
Born in 1970, and I can tell you listening to this zaps me back to Summer of 1981. What a year that was to be a kid at the age of 10 going on 11!! Star Wars, Star Trek, James Bond Roger Moore, Raiders of the Lost Ark!! So Fine. Porkys, Friday the 13th, Halloween movies, if you got bullied, you learned to stick up for yourself, Ronald Reagan, Magnum PI, Saturday morning Cartoons, Mcdonalds, Burger King, Wendys, Atari 2600, Smurfs, SNL Eddie Murphy, Playboy, Penthouse, Tom Selleck, Family Ties, Cagney and Lacey, Arthur, no involvement in the middle east occupations, Margaret Thatcher, Jimmy Carter was out!! Hondas and Toyotas were in, Mustangs and Corvettes cool. Cabbage Patch Kids, Colleco Vision. Arcades, Roller Skating, We beat the crap out of the Russians in the 1980 Winter Games. Winter games were held in Lake Placid, which by the way some of the scenes in this film were filmed, Billy Joel, Who could not stop thinking of Christie Brinkley? Chevy Chase, Caddyshack, Bill Murray, John Beloshi in Neighbors, Blues Brothers, just to name a few. Also everybody mentioning Sheena Easton, you can also see her in season 4 of Miami Vice, as Crockette's Second wife, she sang a nice meloromantic song, "Over My Rainbow" which I like, that came out sometime in 1988. Yeah I happen to agree, that the people who decided on the bond girls, it was the best decision made to keep Easton as the singer for opening and closing credits, and the Greek girl as the bond girl fully agree. Well back to 2019, hehehehe, that was a good short term trip for a few minutes. Enjoy!!
Other shows and movies to note in 1981 that came out, lets start with tv, Incredible Hulk, WKRP In Cincinati, Greatest American Hero, Hill Street Blues, St.Elsewhere, Dallas, Soap, and movies wise Superman II, The Fog, Escape From NY, Soap wise you had General Hospital, oh yeah, forgot Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Happy Days, Joannie Loves Chachi, Lavern and Shirley. CNN had not come out yet and we were down to 3 major networks. Cable was just beginning. Also ABC Sunday Night Movie. I think if I am correct, it was Sunday Night Football was the thing and ABC held the rights, and then later down the road, it became Monday Night Football. Superbowl was more respectable too, not like what we have today as a super studded star fest of pop stars, it had average folks performing, sometimes mainly bands performing. Sports was all about fun and competing not all political like today!! 1981 was a great year to be a kid, unlike today with all the luxury of technology!!! Glad to have lived it!!! Call me old, but got to live it!!!
They all were until "Licence To Kill". I guess they thought a guy's leg being eaten off, someone's HEAD exploding, and another being grinded to death was a little much in the violence department. Fun fact: "The Living Daylights", the last PG Bond movie, had actual female nudity (briefly however).
AdamG1983 Licence to Kill is one of only 2 Bond films to be rated 15 as well; the other is the uncut post-2012 version of Casino Royale with the extended torture scene
Sheena was a beauty, love this song. So pretty and full of grace, one of my favourite Bond themes and from the 80s of course, great movie roger keep well
@@715michala Skyfall is... well. I hate Adele music because of how low energy it is, but i think that was ok. I didnt hate that theme so much. But not that i would listen to it over and over, its ok though.
Saw this film with my dad in the summer of 1981. My first Bond experience and it left an everlasting impression on me. The theme song has always been a favorite of mine, even throughout my rock and metal heydays and till today. Thanks dad, rest well.
Never seen a James Bond movie in my life. Just heard a bunch of their songs on the way home from work the other day through my dad's playlist. This one and The Man With The Golden Gun stood out to me. I really like both of them.
I was 37 yrs old when this came out and I was hooked by Sheena and the movie. Brings back a great time in my life. So thank you so much to a captivating woman and a very cool opening for the movie Sheena
Sheena Easton has such a huge voice! She nailed this song dead on, technically and artistically. She was beautiful in her youth and has only grown more beautiful with time! 😍
Gosh Sheena was a beauty, and full of passion, Great film mr Moore, I was in Newquay with a girl I was in love, one night after the movie, she said for your eyes only, never forgotten, thanks Sheena xx
My dad has seen every 007 movie ever in theatres and when I was 7 years old, he took me to see this one at the now-defunct AMC Sheridan 7 movie theatre in Hollywood, FL. I've seen almost all of the James Bond series since then. Thanks, Dad. I love you.
The 80s were such an incredible time, especially the variety of music available. I could go on and on with the different artists, we didn’t know how good we had it, 😊☺️
Best opening theme in the Bond franchise "In my opinion". Such an emotional song with a nice video in one of the most realistic Bond films ever made. Classic to a tee :)
One of the best Bond films, one of the best Bond songs. This has always been one of my favourites. It's a film suitable for children as well for adults. The Bond franchise did not always balance it this well.
It’s funny this was the first Bond film I recall hearing about, my Dad wanted to go see it but I saw the ad in the paper with the woman’s legs and she wasn’t wearing much, it looked kind of risqué and not a kids movie (I was 10 at the time)
It was the Summer of 1981 when my best friend and I went to see this....we were both 13. We were too young to get all the symbolism in these opening titles of naked women swimming, jumping, spreading their legs and a pistol being held up straight into the air (phallic erection). We just wanted to see shootouts and death defying escapes from James Bond. Now these opening titles are considered taboo, sexist and exploiting of women. I say take me back to 1981.
I saw this when I was 11 in Oxford. These titles awakened me as a man for the first time. They stayed in my head, and the song, well after the movie. Roger was the coolest bond I think, not a tough guy, too classy to be that.
A SONG DREAM come TRUE FOREVER ,an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE . The generic songs of the JAMES BOND are PURE WONDERS of Musical Composition and the FEMALE VOICES, chosen with intelligence and skill are often AWESOME. What TALENT through the years that pass and that can not leave anyone indifferent when you appreciate BEAUTIFUL QUALITY SONGS ...
there's only one problem wit this song.......its not long enough..i wish there was another ten verses....the best bond song by far...the piano is brilliant!
One of the most iconic Bond themes hands down. And clever use of Sheena Easton , too. Why they never did it again with other artists is bizarre, as here it obviously works.
@@rw8733 That is very true. Sheena was beautiful, reeked of class at the time (this was before her Sugar Walls phase), and had a voice that rivaled Whitney Houston's.
When I was younger this song wasn't really one of my favorite songs growing up, but eventually i came around to it. Furthermore, I didn't really watch the movie recently until I saw that Julian Glover was in it, and Bill Conti did the music. This song definitely has become one of my favorites. Sheena Easton did great, and I love the Piano in this song.
This has to be one of the greatest Bond themes of all, with Sheena Easton a voice from heaven, and so beautiful.
It's definitely up there. "Nobody Does It Better," though...
@@danwilliams1920 "You Only Live Twice" and "Live And Let Die" - but yes, as the first Bond I ever saw this is still awesome.
he was my hero, he saved the world many times and did it all with a smile
I watched a documentary about the music and theme songs of the James Bond movies. THEY DIDN’T EVEN MENTION THIS THEME SONG! This is EASILY top 5 if not top 3 in my opinion. Doc lost all credibility to me! BLASPHEMY!
@@tylsimys67 The best James Bond songs are " Nobody Does It Better", " A View To A Kill ", " You Only Live Twice ", " For Your Eyes Only " , "Live And Let Die ", " Thunderball " , " Moonraker ", " The Living Daylights ", "License To Kill", " Octopussy " , "Skyfall", " No Time To Die ", "Spectre"
The openings were my favorite part of the Bond films I've seen. This one brings tears to my eyes with the beauty of Sheena and her voice and the titles by Maurice Binder. Props to all involved.
Thanks for uploading!
Somehow I knew Maurice Binder had something to do with the song for your eyes only, also he was a friend of Elvis Presley. The person playing the piano on that song sounds like Elvis Presley's piano player.
One of the best James Bond films in my opinion. Roger Moore at his best . Incredibly good storyline, a great cast and the best locations. Some of the nastiest Bond villains and a wonderful musical score. Great car chase with terrible cars and amazing underwater action. They don’t make them like this anymore . Perfect.
Definitely, and certainly one of the best theme songs.

Wasn't she the only singer to appear?
I think initially they wanted Deborah Harry, who was also beautiful, but she refused to sing without the rest of Blondie so they decided to get someone else.
Shirley Bassey was very hot during her youth and is aging very well.
Undoubtedly of the best James Bond songs.
Never saw a Bond movie. Heard this song so many times years ago and have to admit this is an epic intro.

So agree...was a freshman in high school and my crush on her was huge
Me too. Glad I was a boy during this age!!
Best bond theme tune, takes me back to when I was young enough to go out and play with my mates and always be back home for tea and I didn't wash my hands every 5 seconds. 😁
I miss this kind of Bond opening. Classy, sexy, well-choreographed, works of art.
Activated Complex
Me too! :)
I feel exactly the same!
Good music is almost gone. I'm ashamed at today's garbage.
Next to the themes of GOLDFINGER and GOLDEN EYE it is one of the best to me
Roger Lynch Good picks. I’m partial to View To A Kill, The Living Daylights, and All Time High as opening themes go. But this tops my list.
I said it once, I'll say it again: just for this song, Sheena Easton should be considered a Bond Girl!

1981 was a year of several very popular pop songs from films, and this was one of them. It was everywhere.
Yes along with Endless Love and Irene Cara’s songs from Fame
I remember this song playing no stop on the radio, and I loved it! This song aged like wine. A classic!
This is such a beautifully 1980s song. I must've seen all of the Roger Moore films at least ten times each throughout the course of the 80s, with this one and Live and Let Die being my favourites.

This song is so timeless and beautiful.
彼女の歌は聴く者を天界へ連れて行くような美しさがあります。
I am still listening to this classic song in 2024 sung by a very good singer
Not just her voice... Sheena is beautiful enough to appear on the opening sequence!!
They should've included her into the actual film. I think Madonna had a bit part in one of the James Bond films.
@@lamarravery4094 She did and I almost wonder if it was a stab at Sheena Easton. But I guess Sheena has the last laugh though as this song is iconic whereas Madonna's is not even talked about and Sheena is still looking pretty good whereas Madonna is looking haggard

This record is so good. Heartwarming without being the usually soppy love song.
Probably the best song in a 007 movie
It is a strong possibility and yet there are some beautiful ones in this INCREDIBLE repertoire of TRUE and QUALITY ...
What about All Time High from Octopussy?
For sure
Remember watching the opening scene as a kid. This song brings back very fond memories. When times were good. ❤Miss the 80's❤

@@eddie7167 I guess, your "71" (behind "Eddie") means, that you were born in 1971!? The 70`s and early to mid 80`s were wonderful times, to be a child. The toys at that time were fantastic. A paradise for children. And then TV, cinema, comics, quieter times etc. This is not just nostalgia, it was really fantastic for kids. Okay, we did not have Playstations, but Arcade Games and the starting of the first home-computers was fun, too. I realy feel sorry, that your dad is already dead. But no one can ever take your memories of these times, that you experienced with your dad in your childhood - and not only in these.
Yes . These Bond films remind us all that there was once a time when we had no cares or worries and the Future lay ahead of us -
Shining brightly . Little did we know....! ?!
And as an added bonus, the ending of _On Her Majesty's Secret Service_ leads right into the beginning of _For Your Eyes Only_ .
This is true nostalgia. Amazing song. Amazing movie. Amazing Stunning Singer.
Can't belive Moore is gone.
I am still waiting for him to apear once more as 007,. The only true Bond. MISS THE 80s!.
I wish I could live every day as if its.....For your eyes only !
Who could have guessed how the
World would look like 40 years later . ? We lived in the Best of Times ......but we didn't appreciate
it at the time.
RIP - Chaim Topol 1935-2023.
One of the best bond songs sends shivers down my spine
Born in 1970, and I can tell you listening to this zaps me back to Summer of 1981. What a year that was to be a kid at the age of 10 going on 11!! Star Wars, Star Trek, James Bond Roger Moore, Raiders of the Lost Ark!! So Fine. Porkys, Friday the 13th, Halloween movies, if you got bullied, you learned to stick up for yourself, Ronald Reagan, Magnum PI, Saturday morning Cartoons, Mcdonalds, Burger King, Wendys, Atari 2600, Smurfs, SNL Eddie Murphy, Playboy, Penthouse, Tom Selleck, Family Ties, Cagney and Lacey, Arthur, no involvement in the middle east occupations, Margaret Thatcher, Jimmy Carter was out!! Hondas and Toyotas were in, Mustangs and Corvettes cool. Cabbage Patch Kids, Colleco Vision. Arcades, Roller Skating, We beat the crap out of the Russians in the 1980 Winter Games. Winter games were held in Lake Placid, which by the way some of the scenes in this film were filmed, Billy Joel, Who could not stop thinking of Christie Brinkley? Chevy Chase, Caddyshack, Bill Murray, John Beloshi in Neighbors, Blues Brothers, just to name a few. Also everybody mentioning Sheena Easton, you can also see her in season 4 of Miami Vice, as Crockette's Second wife, she sang a nice meloromantic song, "Over My Rainbow" which I like, that came out sometime in 1988. Yeah I happen to agree, that the people who decided on the bond girls, it was the best decision made to keep Easton as the singer for opening and closing credits, and the Greek girl as the bond girl fully agree. Well back to 2019, hehehehe, that was a good short term trip for a few minutes. Enjoy!!
Other shows and movies to note in 1981 that came out, lets start with tv, Incredible Hulk, WKRP In Cincinati, Greatest American Hero, Hill Street Blues, St.Elsewhere, Dallas, Soap, and movies wise Superman II, The Fog, Escape From NY, Soap wise you had General Hospital, oh yeah, forgot Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Happy Days, Joannie Loves Chachi, Lavern and Shirley. CNN had not come out yet and we were down to 3 major networks. Cable was just beginning. Also ABC Sunday Night Movie. I think if I am correct, it was Sunday Night Football was the thing and ABC held the rights, and then later down the road, it became Monday Night Football. Superbowl was more respectable too, not like what we have today as a super studded star fest of pop stars, it had average folks performing, sometimes mainly bands performing. Sports was all about fun and competing not all political like today!! 1981 was a great year to be a kid, unlike today with all the luxury of technology!!! Glad to have lived it!!! Call me old, but got to live it!!!
A beautiful song and so typically 80's. Who wouldn't have this play, alongside their first dance at a wedding?
Gorgeous woman Sheena, just PERFECT! Her voice is magnificent.
always loved how sensual these bond openings were, especially this one. this was rated PG back in the day folks!
They all were until "Licence To Kill". I guess they thought a guy's leg being eaten off, someone's HEAD exploding, and another being grinded to death was a little much in the violence department.
Fun fact: "The Living Daylights", the last PG Bond movie, had actual female nudity (briefly however).
AdamG1983 Licence to Kill is one of only 2 Bond films to be rated 15 as well; the other is the uncut post-2012 version of Casino Royale with the extended torture scene
I don’t recall Daylights having any nudity? That was the AIDS era film. Only one love interest (but that was more than enough ☺️)
Sheena Easton nailed this beautiful song.
This song makes me cry what an awesome time that was
Sheena was a beauty, love this song. So pretty and full of grace, one of my favourite Bond themes and from the 80s of course, great movie roger keep well
She's not actually dead though.
Amazing Bond theme. 10 out of 10. Flawless.
Wonderful song and film intro, epitomises the wonderful 80’s, great times
Probably the best Bond tune of all times. We grew up with Bond. I will never forget it
Will always be the BEST theme song
R.I.P Sir Roger Moore. Really it was such a beautiful song!
Ironically Roger thought skyfall theme was beautiful just before he popped his clogs awww
A GREAT MAN and a TALENTOUS ACTOR who will have brought us a lot of joy and good cinematographic moments for many years ... Hat down, the Artist!
@@715michala Skyfall is... well. I hate Adele music because of how low energy it is, but i think that was ok. I didnt hate that theme so much. But not that i would listen to it over and over, its ok though.
@@kejiri3593 actually gone off Skyfall theme
Sir roger moore was great and this song bring tears to me what a great memories
For your eyes only 007❤
Not a usual practise to have the singer of a bond theme on the opening sequence, but Sheena was so goddamn beautiful they had no option . . .
Kevin Barton the credits designer thought she was hot
The only singer featured in a Bond film.
What about #MelissaManchester..?
Octopussy
@Paul Kryder hi...yes...u R rigth...Melissa sang Out of África theme...thanks
Best bond song ever.
Bravo.Sheena Easton has a beautiful voice.This song is one of the best in the James bond series "Agent 007".
Saw this film with my dad in the summer of 1981. My first Bond experience and it left an everlasting impression on me.
The theme song has always been a favorite of mine, even throughout my rock and metal heydays and till today.
Thanks dad, rest well.
As much as I like Bassey's, this may be the best of all!!! Plus she's so freaking stunning!.
Never seen a James Bond movie in my life. Just heard a bunch of their songs on the way home from work the other day through my dad's playlist. This one and The Man With The Golden Gun stood out to me. I really like both of them.
the best bond song ever! i saw her in person nd she can still belt all th words out!
I think I like Nobody Does it Better a little more but I really just love both songs.
Brings back memories of watching James Bond movies on HBO and Cinemax when I was kid out for summer break. This was one of my favorites.
For your eyes only and View to a kill are the best Bond songs. Watched them both at the drive-in.
Plus gladys knight licence to kill...
Songs like this make life worth living
I was 37 yrs old when this came out and I was hooked by Sheena and the movie. Brings back a great time in my life. So thank you so much to a captivating woman and a very cool opening for the movie Sheena
Christ, if you were 37 when this movie came out, how old are you now? I cba doing the math
@@spots763037 in 1981
2022 is 41 years later
37 plus 41 = 78 years old
@@itsnouse-yourswillbeastill2562 well I was 26 in 1981, now 68 in 2023, so it reminds me of my twenties.
Sheena Easton has such a huge voice! She nailed this song dead on, technically and artistically.
She was beautiful in her youth and has only grown more beautiful with time! 😍
Sheena Easton is such an amazing talent!!!
Stunningly attractive and a heavenly voice!
Gosh Sheena was a beauty, and full of passion, Great film mr Moore, I was in Newquay with a girl I was in love, one night after the movie, she said for your eyes only, never forgotten, thanks Sheena xx
This one and 'A View To A Kill' are the all time best Bond songs.
Sheena easton she was the most beautiful young lady pop singer of the 80s with the beautiful voice....80s was real magic era for all kind of music
My dad has seen every 007 movie ever in theatres and when I was 7 years old, he took me to see this one at the now-defunct AMC Sheridan 7 movie theatre in Hollywood, FL. I've seen almost all of the James Bond series since then. Thanks, Dad. I love you.
The 80s were such an incredible time, especially the variety of music available. I could go on and on with the different artists, we didn’t know how good we had it, 😊☺️
This has always been my fav bond song. She has such an amazing unique voice with no auto-tune.
Always such a wonderful piece of music that will last forever.
Thank you roger moore for all the bond movies you were the best
Best opening theme in the Bond franchise "In my opinion". Such an emotional song with a nice video in one of the most realistic Bond films ever made. Classic to a tee :)
The sound mix fits the nautical theme of the premise so well
'Nobody does it better', is right up there. Think its probably better..
Only "All time high" beats it
The edel song was awful though
You' re right ,friend as many ,many people ,all around the world and the others BEAUTIFUL SONGS of this FANTASTIC REPERTOIRE are not the Last...
Definitely one of my absolute FAVORITES! This and "The Spy who Loved me" are my 2 favorites! Rest in Peace Roger Moore to my favorite Bond as well!
Simply one of the most mesmerizing movie openings ever.
One of the best Bond films, one of the best Bond songs. This has always been one of my favourites. It's a film suitable for children as well for adults. The Bond franchise did not always balance it this well.
It’s funny this was the first Bond film I recall hearing about, my Dad wanted to go see it but I saw the ad in the paper with the woman’s legs and she wasn’t wearing much, it looked kind of risqué and not a kids movie (I was 10 at the time)
Roger Moore will always be James Bond to me
Me too!
Definitely the best bond, funny, cool, charming, r.i.p.
Me too!
Daniel Craig's the best
Moore was the best Bond followed by Brosnan and Connery respectively.
I've always liked that as she sings the line, "I never felt 'til I looked at you," she turns and looks directly at you. Such beautiful eyes.
i was a little boy when i saw this 007 movie and i loved the song
I watched this movie when it came out in the 80's at the drive in. And loved it
It was the Summer of 1981 when my best friend and I went to see this....we were both 13. We were too young to get all the symbolism in these opening titles of naked women swimming, jumping, spreading their legs and a pistol being held up straight into the air (phallic erection). We just wanted to see shootouts and death defying escapes from James Bond. Now these opening titles are considered taboo, sexist and exploiting of women. I say take me back to 1981.
Carlos Miguel BlueDragon You have very good taste.
I saw this when I was 11 in Oxford. These titles awakened me as a man for the first time. They stayed in my head, and the song, well after the movie. Roger was the coolest bond I think, not a tough guy, too classy to be that.
I was eight when my fàther took me and my brother to see this in Edmonton at the Capital Four theater. I loved this song and the movie
A SONG DREAM come TRUE FOREVER ,an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE . The generic songs of the JAMES BOND are PURE WONDERS of Musical Composition and the FEMALE VOICES, chosen with intelligence and skill are often AWESOME. What TALENT through the years that pass and that can not leave anyone indifferent when you appreciate BEAUTIFUL QUALITY SONGS ...
👍 👍 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 ! !
there's only one problem wit this song.......its not long enough..i wish there was another ten verses....the best bond song by far...the piano is brilliant!
i thought the official music video not the bond opening was longer
Indeed! So it makes me play on and on and louder hahaha... maybe it's one of attractions of the song, too.
One of the best Bond songs ever in my opinion.
This song is beautiful and soothing.
Wonderful tune, one of the best Bond themes for me!
This song gives me goosebumps. It's so pretty!
For Your Eyes Only has got to be the greatest James Bond love song ❤️
and MACCA´S
too
@@carlosbuscatore not bloody macxas awful lol
"All Time High" Octopussy soundtrack. Sir Roger Moore💋💋💋😍😍👠👠
One of the most iconic Bond themes hands down. And clever use of Sheena Easton , too. Why they never did it again with other artists is bizarre, as here it obviously works.
The other singers weren't as beautiful as Sheena.
Yeah, I just commented on that. She's the only singer to have been shown physically during the opening titles.
@@rw8733 That is very true. Sheena was beautiful, reeked of class at the time (this was before her Sugar Walls phase), and had a voice that rivaled Whitney Houston's.
Carly Simon's mug would have ruined the film
I think Nancy Sinatra would have looked divine in the opening credits to You Only Live Twice.
I've watched this movie when I was 13yrs old with my parents in a drive in theater in SF California. R.I.P. Mom and Dad🙄🙏
The only singer who actually appeared in Bond titles.
Not truth , so was Gladis Knight in Licence to kill
Madonna is in Die Another Day.
This got wrong so quick. Sorry dude
Cause she's hot.
Not the only one, but she was the FIRST :)
I love this since the first time. Not only for the movie, but also for Sheena, the song and the scenery.....James Bond forever.
Very good song. Love 80's Bond main themes. Gladys Knight - Licence To Kill (1989) and Lani Hall - Never Say Never Again (1984) are great songs too.
What a fantastic song and movie! I love this♡
This woman has a voice! Damn it, Sheena, queen of song!
Luvv this intro...and those bare shoulders of Sheena Easton! Beautiful song!!
One of the most beautiful faces ever!
Roger Moore?
Certainly is! -David S. Blain
Thanku x
She's from Scotland but I wouldn't be surprised if she has some ancestry from another country like Italy.
Wow, great voice! Go Sheena!
When I was younger this song wasn't really one of my favorite songs growing up, but eventually i came around to it. Furthermore, I didn't really watch the movie recently until I saw that Julian Glover was in it, and Bill Conti did the music. This song definitely has become one of my favorites. Sheena Easton did great, and I love the Piano in this song.
I heard this on the radio today, as part of guess the year. I never realized just how good it is. Brilliant, just brilliant, what a voice.
Written by Bill Conti, who also did the music to North and South a few years later.
